Christmas in July!

Merry Christmas? Say what?! No, the crazy heat wave does not have us hearing fictitious jingle bells. This week, the Coalesce team celebrated Christmas in July. And in true Coalesce fashion, the festivities were out in full force – wreaths, stockings, holiday tunes and more! Each team member brought in their favorite holiday dish-to-pass and donned holiday wear. Yes, Judy, your Vixen socks were enough to make even Santa want to run to the mall for a pair.

The day culminated in giving Secret Santa gifts – white elephant style! Take a peek at what each Coalesce team member found under the tree:

Todd: a replica Paul Stanley autographed KISS stocking (in the form of a platform boot) filled with Hershey Kisses (only his favorite band since age 7!)

Michelle: a 2” replica Giant Metal Chicken … the meaning of this gift is for another day, another blog …

Gina: a reusable bag with all the fixings for Sangria

Lisa: a mini-fridge filled with Mt. Dew, sunglasses and pretzel M&M’s

Shauna: a red, white and blue Christmas in July ornament

Jason: festive cocktail coasters and cooking oils from Mexico

Judy: a Jim Dorsey Christmas CD and iTunes gift card

Dana: an official Fox Sports Packer transformer

And the best part yet … only 147 shopping days until Christmas is here again!
